Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: seration pitch narrow Comment: I have had this for 6 months and was a no-brainer to carry all the time. it was slim, inconspicuous, and useful to have around, although folks at the office always raised eyebrows when I broke it out to cut a box or something... :) I was working in the garden when I needed to just shave a little off a PVC pipe I was installing and reached for the knife. I didn't try hard, but the angle on the serration is so narrow that the metal was too thin to scrape the PVC and ended up bending that portion of the blade out of whack and even breaking off a piece of the blade. That you can't use it as a workhorse is the only flaw. Other than that, I love the knife. It took a while, but I really like the speed-open mechanism, the blade lock is a nice comfort, and the design is thin and subtle. Not too big, yet not too small, either. A great tool to keep around if you need/want to have a knife handy. Customer Rating: Summary: Great knife Comment: This is a great knife. Nice and slim for every day carry. Blade holds an edge well and is easy to sharpen. I've used it for everyday mundane items and hunting. Fits great in the hand and pocket. I would recommend this and have gifted it already. Customer Rating: Summary: My favorite knife! Comment: Love this design and I carry it daily. Light, fast, & safe. This is my third one since I tend to lose them, and the price is quite reasonable. Customer Rating: Summary: The best - a prefect pocket knife Comment: Just unboxed my Leek and it is fantastic! I have a Kershaw Chive already and the two knives are very very similar in everything but size. I have had a tendon break in my thumb so the knives with thumb-studs were out and I live in a region where full-auto (switchblade) knives are illegal so they were out. That left assisted knives (with a spring) with a flipper on the back (legal in most places) and after a few hours on YouTube I chose the Leek & Chive. I have reviewed the Chive already so here I will just talk about the Leek. The knife comes with a razor-sharp blade and pin-sharp point, which makes you appreciate the "speed safe" opening. Unlock the safety switch and press firmly on the flipper on the back and the knife flies out and locks open with a confident click. The liner-lock is firm too so there's no chance it will close accidentally and when you do unlock the knife it needs pressure to close it - unlike some other folders that snap shut suddenly and can trap fingers. Everything about the knife shouts quality and with a lifetime warranty Kershaw obviously trust their guarantee. The belt clip can be removed easily with a small torx (6-pointed star) screwdriver and remounted the other way up for point-up carrying. The Leek and Chive are both great knives but for my big hands the Leek just feels more comfortable. This means I'll probably carry the Leek but keep the Chive for use around the home. Customer Rating: Summary: Simply the best folding knifes, ever. Comment: Love it. I have always been a huge fan of Kershaw. This is my second leek folding knife and they are shipped razor sharp and ready to use. I wouldn't consider buying another brand of folding knife unless it was a Spyderco. More Reviews
